zfs-0.4.9 on 32bit Debian Lenny using 2.6.32-bpo.5-686-bigmem #44

volsize is max 2g even on Solaris 32bit |
|
Thx. Do you know why this is? Obviously 32bit Linux has no problem addressing block devices (e.g. disks) larger than 2G normally. |

I suggest looking in the code or hub.opensolaris.org, the zfs-code user group. |

Thanks for the feedback struanb. Several of the issues you mention should be addressed by the 0.5.0 tag which we should have together any week now. This project is still very much a work in progress and while our end goal is for it to be stable on production systems it's not there yet.
Splat is designed to be a stressful regression test for your system to ensure all the Solaris primitives are working properly. It's probably not a good a good idea to run it on a working production machines, it's designed to stress it heavily.
This has improved a little, while we still do not have real deb packaging the process of converting rpms to debs has been integrated with the build system. For the next tag you'll just need to run either 'make pkg' or 'make deb'. Currently it's working well for me. Long term natives packages are welcome. Thanks again for reporting back your experience with 0.4.9. |

libzfs: Fail making a dataset handle gracefully
This issue is posted to provide feedback on an installation of zfs-0.4.9 with spl-0.4.9 on a 32bit Debian Lenny installation using 2.6.32-bpo.5-686-bigmem from lenny-backports. Elements of SPL and ZFS were tested on two different pieces of hardware, both running the same kernel and distribution.
#1. Building and Installing SPL .debs
No real trouble here, except some of the rpm files, when converted to deb files using 'alien -d' are given the same .deb filename. The solution was to run 'alien -d' and install only spl-0.4.9-1.i386.rpm, spl-modules-0.4.9-1_2.6.32_bpo.5_686_bigmem.i386.rpm and spl-modules-devel-0.4.9-1_2.6.32_bpo.5_686_bigmem.i386.rpm (and not spl-0.4.9-1.src.rpm and spl-modules-0.4.9-1.src.rpm).
#2. Running splat
On machine A, a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 32G ram, 'splat -a' hung at kmem:slab_large. The OS didn't crash, but did appear to slow down, so it was necessary to reboot the machine (which is a production machine, so further testing on this machine hasn't yet been possible).
On machine B, a Dell SC430 with 4G ram, 'splat -a' completed successfully.
#3. Building and Installing ZFS .debs
No real trouble compiling, but had trouble building the rpms and consequently the debs. The 'make rpm' failed with errors (see bottom of this post). Eventually, ran 'checkinstall' to create a .deb, which installed fine, except I found many files were installed in /usr/local instead of /usr, zconfig.sh didn't like that. Re-ran './configure --prefix=/usr' and then checkinstall created a .deb with the files under /usr.
#4. Running zconfig.sh
On the first run on machine B, zconfig.sh crashed the machine completely during test 2. The machine was rebooted, and a second and third runs completely successfully.
#5. Creating pools and vols
No trouble creating a pool on a 10G LVM volume with 'zpool create tank /dev/Main/zfs1'. No trouble creating a volume with 'zfs create -V 2000M tank/fish' (it took me a while to realise that the block device would be created in /dev/tank/fish, and not /dev/zvol/tank/fish, as was implied on the Example ZVOL wiki page.)
However, it is not possible to create a zvol larger than 2G, for some reason.
'zfs create -V 2049M tank/fish2' fails with the message: "cannot create 'tank/f4': volume size exceeds limit for this system"
#6. Speed Tests
Again on machine B, compared data transfer rates to a native ext3 filesystem, to an ext3 filesystem onto of a ZFS volume, using 'dd if=somefile of=destfile bs=1M'.
Copying to /tmp/somefile (ext3 on LVM volume on SATA): 60-70Mb/s
Copying to /mnt/somefile (having run 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/tank/fish', 'mount /dev/tank/fish /mnt'): 25-30Mb/s
I hope this helps.
